Klement on Germany
Tops Group E easily this time. Beats USA in the R32, then loses to France in a R16 classic. Klement: 'It pains me to say this, but France is clearly a much better team than Germany.'
Klement on Ivory Coast
Klement: qualifies as best third, loses comfortably to Portugal in the R32.
